Removal of an intra-renal migrated ureteral stent through a percutaneous nephroscopy in a 2-year-old child

Ureteral stents are widely used to facilitate ureteral patency in the postoperative period of pyeloplasty and they are usually removed using forceps under cystoscopic guidance. Proximal migration of the ureteric stent is a rare but known complication and it is even less common in the pediatric age group. We present a case of antegrade retrieval of ureteral stent through a nephroscopic approach in a 2-year-old boy after unsuccessful cystoscopic, ureteroscopic and fluoroscopic attempt of removal due to intra-renal migration.
